1. If the quotient is 4 and the dividend is 12, what is the divisor?

• A. 3
• B. 6
• C. 4
• D. 9

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the divisor, you need to divide the dividend by the quotient. In this case, the dividend is 12 and the quotient is 4. Dividing 12 by 4 gives you the divisor, which is 3. Therefore, the correct answer is 4. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not result from dividing the dividend by the quotient in this scenario.

2. If a marathon runner burns 2276 calories in 21.4 miles, what is their rate of calories burned per mile?

• A. 107.5
• B. 106.4
• C. 105.6
• D. 109.3

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To find the rate of calories burned per mile, divide the total calories burned by the total miles run: 2276 ÷ 21.4 ≈ 106.4 calories per mile. This calculation gives the average number of calories burned for each mile of the marathon. Choice A, 107.5, is incorrect as it does not match the precise calculation result. Choices C and D are also incorrect as they are not the accurate rate of calories burned per mile based on the given data.

3. If a student earns $120 for a 10-hour tutoring session and works 6 hours, how much did the student earn?

• A. $72
• B. $90
• C. $80
• D. $50

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To find the amount earned for 6 hours of work, calculate the hourly rate by dividing the total earnings ($120) by the total hours worked (10 hours): $120 ÷ 10 = $12 per hour. Then, multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours worked (6): $12 × 6 = $72. Therefore, the student earned $72 for working 6 hours. Choice B ($90) is incorrect because it miscalculates the hourly rate. Choice C ($80) is incorrect as it does not consider the correct hourly rate. Choice D ($50) is incorrect as it calculates the earnings based on the wrong hourly rate.

4. How many kilograms are in 2000 grams?

• A. 20 kilograms
• B. 2 kilograms
• C. 5 kilograms
• D. 10 kilograms

Correct answer: B

Rationale: To convert grams to kilograms, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 2000 grams is equal to 2 kilograms (2000 grams ÷ 1000 = 2 kilograms). The correct answer is B: 2 kilograms. Choice A, 20 kilograms, is incorrect because multiplying by 10 (not dividing by 1000) would give that result. Choice C, 5 kilograms, and Choice D, 10 kilograms, are also incorrect as they do not correctly convert grams to kilograms.

5. How many grams are in 8 kilograms?

• A. 80000 grams
• B. 800 grams
• C. 80000 grams
• D. 8000 grams

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you multiply by 1,000 since there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Therefore, 8 kilograms = 8 x 1,000 = 8,000 grams. The correct answer is 8,000 grams, which is option D. Choices A and C are incorrect as they incorrectly multiply by 10,000 instead of 1,000. Choice B is incorrect as it divides 8 by 10 instead of multiplying by 1,000.
